During the 2022 election, Down Ballot Allies supported Rep. Mary Satler Peltola's extraordinary campaign for Congress to represent Alaska's At-Large Congressional district. That campaign was made possible by Ranked Choice Voting, a voting system used in many municipal elections and increasingly in Federal elections.  

During 2022, Down Ballot Allies helped many Federal candidates with research and electoral policy. This cycle, we are being increasingly asked to explore Ranked Choice Voting. Help us to fund our research.

You’re not a donor, you’re an ally. Down ballot races need resources: financial, human, and technical. Down ballot Democrats are more willing to step forward if they are supported. Investing in down ballot races yields higher Democratic turnout, benefiting candidates from the bottom-up. 

Down Ballot Allies has a simple goal: maximizing the value of Democratic donors’ contributions in the most competitive Congressional campaigns in any given cycle. We understand that money spent at the local and state levels has a direct, positive impact on the federal races above them - all while giving much-needed financial support to campaigns that will directly impact the lives of their constituents. 

Money invested in Democratic down ballot races means higher voter turnout for targeted Democratic Congressional races, building energy at every level.
